Chapter 677: The Fall of Libek City (Part )

Two days later, Commander Weilin and his 30,000 troops arrived at the outskirts of Libek.

Inside the camp, more than 10,000 forcibly conscripted men were constructing and setting up campsites.

Weilin took a look at this scene and stopped paying attention to it.

It was common to forcibly conscript local young and strong men during marches and battles. Some armies would even use them as cannon fodder for sieges after they had finished their work.

In the central tent, two guards saw the lord coming, opened the curtain and saluted respectfully.

Seeing this, Weilin nodded and entered the tent.

"My lord, after we take over the city of Libek, we are only away from the central area of ​​Stovia, Solomon City, and the Algeciras fortress complex." Kyle sat on the left side of Weilin, pointed to the direction on the map, and spoke.

Weilin looked down and nodded, saying, "The Algeciras Fortress Complex. It is said that there are a thousand fortresses here. I don't know if it is an exaggeration or true."

"As long as we capture this place, you will know whether it is true or not."

Neither Weilin nor Kyle took the Algeciras fortress group seriously.

In the afternoon, a pre-war meeting was held in the central tent.

"Carlisle."

Carlisle, who was sitting in the last seat on the left, stood up immediately when he heard his name, saluted respectfully, and said, "Lord Weilin, please give me your orders."

"Can the Black Rock Army perform the first attack here?"

Facing Weilin's question, Carlisle's expression did not change at all, and he spoke out what was in his mind.

"My lord, the six thousand soldiers of the Black Rock Army are the most steadfast warriors of the Goddess of Life. They can no longer wait to fight for you. In this siege, the Black Rock Army will prove their loyalty to you with the blood of the enemy."

"Very good. It is indeed correct to hand over the Black Rock Army to you. After you capture Libek City this time, I will allow you to freely plunder the nobles and wealthy merchants in the city for one day, but you cannot touch the civilians who do not resist. They are potential believers of the Goddess of Life."

"Yes, my lord."

After Carlisle sat down, Weilin turned to look at Greg, and finally looked at Hebrew, and said, "Hebrew."

"Lord."

Hebrew's face was filled with joy as he stood up and saluted.

"The Second Battalion is the second-tier siege force. After we capture Libek City, I will give it a name."

"Thank you, Lord."

Hebrew exclaimed, his tone full of joy.

Following the Qixing Camp and the Lansha Camp, the Second Camp under his command will become the third standing army named after Qixing Territory.

Seeing this kid getting carried away, Weilin felt helpless. He waved his hand to signal him to sit down, then looked at Greg and Isius and said, "I have seen the performance of the Fourth and Fifth Battalions. After we capture Solomon City, I will reward them."

"Thank you, my lord." The two men stood up and saluted.

As for the commander of the Eighth Battalion, Imogen, he looked calm and showed no obvious competitive consciousness regarding the naming of the unit. It was not that he did not want to, but that the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command was insufficient and the overall cultivation of the soldiers was not enough.

However, not wanting to do it now doesn’t mean you won’t want to do it in the future.

According to the characteristics of each unit, Weilin deployed combat missions separately.

In this siege, the infantry is still the main player, and the Knights can only perform patrol missions.

As the order was given, the magic craftsman began to command the soldiers to build siege vehicles.

The city of Libet is 21 meters high and has a no-fly zone. Inside the city, the Church of the God of Beasts provides a divine shield covering the entire city, so the only way to attack is from the ground.

Five days later, the army left the camp and lined up outside the city of Libek.

Thirty square formations of a thousand men each marched in neat steps towards the western wall of Libek City.

Outside the army, thousands of knights roamed in the wilderness, driving away wild beasts, clearing out scouts, and guarding the flanks of the army.

On the wall of Libek City, the defending general Ferry accompanied the city lord Harvey to observe the enemy's deployment, his eyes full of horror.

"General Fei Rui, this place is left to you." Harvey pretended to be calm and gave the order.

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing that the city lord was determined to leave, Fei Rui had no choice but to accept the order.

Seeing this, Harvey led the guards away from the city wall and returned to the city.

His family and treasures had already been sent out of the city of Libek. Once the city fell, he would burn down the city lord's mansion and leave through the tunnel.

Although this action betrays the trust of His Majesty the King, it is more important to preserve one's life and property.

When the army arrived three kilometers outside the city of Libek, a blood-red shield rose from the center of the city and covered the entire city.

Above the shield, more than a thousand kinds of wild beasts appear and disappear, representing the incarnation of the God of Beasts.

In the center of the army, Weilin looked up and a breath of wilderness hit him.

In less than a moment, he looked away, raised his right hand, and swung it down with force.

The magic artillery troops received the order and began to bombard the city of Libek.

At the same time, Carlisle commanded the Black Rock Army soldiers to push heavy siege vehicles towards the city of Libek.

The energy ball hit the blood-colored shield, causing a huge explosion, and the magic energy dissipated in all directions.

Inside the city of Libek, in the Church of the God of Beasts, the Bishop of Libek watched the power of the statue being consumed, and Gu Bo's unhappy face gradually became gloomy.

"Tata."

Outside the temple, a Nine Seal warrior wearing a half mask heard his name, entered the temple, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and saluted: "Bishop, please give me your orders."

"In the church, except for the beast maiden, have everyone else go to the west wall to assist the garrison in defending the city."

"Yes, Bishop."

As Tata left, there was a noise in the temple, which soon subsided.

More than 300 clergymen of the church and more than 1,000 war beasts, led by Tata, left the church, climbed up the west wall, and assisted the defenders in defending the city.

Fei Rui looked at Tata, nodded, and said nothing, continuing to command the archers and musketeers to block the enemy's advance.

Despite heavy casualties, the Black Rock Army pushed six siege vehicles closer to the city of Libek.

At a distance of 1,300 meters, more than 500 soldiers had fallen on the road of attack.

"Armor me."

Seeing this, the guards standing behind Carlisle took off their armor and put it on their general.

Entering the range of the blood-red shield, Carlisle felt his strength rapidly draining away.

Without time to think, he came to a siege vehicle and pushed the siege vehicle weighing hundreds of tons towards the west city wall.

Ten minutes later, the siege vehicle arrived at the west city wall. The magic circle inside was activated, madly absorbing the magic energy in three intermediate magic crystals and embedding them into the 20-meter-high city wall in the form of petrified wood.

"attack."

The war drums sounded, and the Black Rock Army at the front charged forward.

Half a month ago, when they left this city, they were warmly received.

Today, they are attacking this city with spears and swords.

Hundreds of Black Rock Army soldiers climbed up the west city wall and continued a fierce battle with the defenders.

There were body parts scattered all over the ground and blood was flowing everywhere.

Half an hour later, Hebrew stood in front of the battle line, drew his knight's sword, and ordered his 3,000 soldiers to attack.
